--- Comment #18 from Rafael Avila de Espindola <rafael.espindola at gmail dot com> 2011-02-16 16:14:52 UTC --- I have created a "small" test of the symbol table problem. It is in http://people.mozilla.com/~respindola/test.tar.xz The test is firefox's libxul with most files copied into one directory to make it easy to run. The test script runs the link twice. First with the IL files and then with combined .o file. The sizes are 39339456 libxul1.so 34436696 libxul2.so The output of "size" in both files is For a 5 MB reduction I might end up writing a wrapper that runs ld twice :-) 23218068 2380480 289668 25888216 18b05d8 libxul1.so 23175418 2380480 289668 25845566 18a5f3e libxul2.so
